sometimes I will get yelled at in public by people who think I should mind my own business
I remember a documentary on television about courage in public and people's willingness to step in or call for help in such situations, where they staged some situations.
I remember in one of them (a man stopping a woman from leaving, telling her to stay on the park bench with him), when someone stepped in, the fake attacker would say, "This is none of your business, we're fine, get your nose out of our business"; that tactic was scarily effective, and several people walked on after that.
